1999 Volvo S80 T6 review from North America
"This car will pay for your mechanic to send his kids to college"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Many problems with the electrical system. The Engine Control Module has been replaced twice and it still has intermittent electrical failures.
Parking brakes locked up at 34,000 miles.
Motor mount broke at 40,000 miles.
Heater core seals started leaking at 38,000 miles.
Power steering hoses starting leaking at 44,000 miles.
Numerous engine oil leaks. Small, but annoying.
Driver's door has air leaks - annoying wind noise at freeway speeds.
General comments?
While I enjoy the performance and comfort of this car, it is extremely unreliable.
